Material Obsessions

I am a process driven painter and mixed media artist fascinated with colour, line, form, texture and non-linear patterns. My work concerns material obsessions, natural, man-made and psychological and the repetitions which manifest themselves on all scales and in all walks of life. I paint on canvas, in sketchbooks and on objects such as boxes and coffee cups as a kind of controlled expression.

The subject matter of my work straddles the line between abstraction and representation and can vary greatly as I always want to reform/ re-express whatever experience or sensation I have, but there are many unusual structures, biological cells, foods, faces and ghostly forms and characters from my imagination and many images which are more than one of these things at once; which I then either repeat, recolour, mask or otherwise reform. My work is a kind of meditation concerned with the numerosity of thought, so that the work hopefully inspires a certain mindfulness in the viewer.
